Last Update: 8/6/2011

Basis:

Wifi always on causes SOD. There are numerous anecdotal reports that setting wifi to be off with screen off reduces/stops SOD.

Plan:

Utilize DroidWall to limit wifi use by applications and find out which applications appear to be safe by selecting specific applications and seeing if SOD occurs.

Why:

Even though turning off wifi with screen off saves battery, some people would like their nook to be pushing/updating with wifi when it is in sleep, getting emails, messages, etc.

What you can do:

1) Download/Install DroidWall

2) Using WHITELIST, check off one or two applications that you utilize the most.

3) Turn _ON_ firewall

4) Update the rules whenever you add or remove apps.

5) Change your wifi setting to always on (advanced options under wifi settings * need to hit menu button to see this option in cm7)

Apps so far tested without problems:

Email (stock)

Improved Email

Dolphin HD 6.0

Epocrates

Market

Amazon Appstore

Possible SOD related App

Downloads, Media Storage, DRM Protected Content Storage, Download Manager (this is one heading in DroidWall)

Apps so far tested that _might_ cause SOD:

*from posts, possibly Latitude.

Testing

K9 Mail

RoadMap

Rom Manager

Netflix

Executive Assistant+

Please post your findings.

I will update this post as we get more information.

Thanks.

DroidWall did not solve it for me... in fact it wouldn't even run on my Nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] Phatdawg:
It works for me. At first, I forgot to turn on the firewall, then I forgot to update rules when I changed things.

So far, I have the following for access to wifi:

Market

Appstore(amazon)

Dolphin Browser HD

Epocrates RX

Email

Improved Email

I just turned on Appstore and Market for the first time tonight, so I'm not sure how well it will do.

I use my nook all the time at work, probably turn it on from lockscreen sleep about 15-20 times over 10 hours, so if I don't get a SOD by the next day, I will put market and amazon appstore on the safe side.
[Nook Color Android Development] Phatdawg:
Interesting development:

I got my 1st SOD today.

Please note my active programs at this time.

Please note that it occured after I started the combined service noted in the OP:

Downloads, Media Storage, DRM protected Content storage, Download Manager in the Droidwall options.

I will remove this option (which makes it impossible to update market aps for that matter) and see if the SOD doesn't happen for the next 3 days. The restart it and see if I get SOD again.

If this is the cause, then I should be able to show that SOD occurs with it active.

[Nook Color Android Development] mrkavanagh:
Using white list and only allow full-time wifi access to "linux kernel" and "apps running as root"

Never have more than one or two other apps besides these access to wifi when in sleep mode. I never allow gapps full-time wifi access and that goes double for market.

Where did this idea come from? *ducks and runs*

I do believe drm checks are screwing with the nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for the very useful testing.
[Nook Color Android Development] Phatdawg:
Okay, update - I left the downloads/media store etc on the last 3 days and haven't had another SOD. So I'm not sure what to think about that. I will move forward and enable K-9mail today and see how things go over the next couple days.
[Nook Color Android Development] fr4nk1yn:
here's my take on it: it has to do with the router, or some configuration of it.

I have a wrt54gs v1.1 at home and a wrt54g v4 at work, both running tomato software, both with Cox internet.

I get CONSISTENT SODs at work, as a side note the router is a also crashing for an unknown reason. the two don't happen at the same time. I've been trying to grab logs for weeks can't explain it or the fact the nook NEVER SODs at home.

the nook can run at home for days perfect, once at work it can SOD 6 times a day or more.

there has to be more going on than an errant app.
[Nook Color Android Development] ADude:
Can you clarify what you mean by "reduces/stops" ? Does it reduce it or does it stop it ?

Also, I've been away for awhile - is this the only SOD cause that is not fixed in the current CM7 nightlies code ?

Thanks !!
[Nook Color Android Development] Phatdawg:
I've had SOD at home and at work. It's possible we both might have a problem.
[Nook Color Android Development] guy2545:
I'm currently sitting at 36 hours of up time with the below white listed items. Without droid wall enabled I would consistently get SOD. I am working towards white listing all items one by one to see what causes a SOD. I have discovered that if I white list Google Maps I will get a SOD. However, until I white list all other items I am not prepared to call Maps as the cause of my SOD.

Thanks, if you go without SOD for 3 days straight like this, I will add these problems to the safe list.
[Nook Color Android Development] ace7196:
I only get it once I run the Pandora app, close it, and after some time in background, sod.
[Nook Color Android Development] olm3ca:
My experience has been that using the Green Power app in Market keeps my NC alive for a week or more of light use and completely stops SOD. When I disabled Green Power last night, SOD happened, so I was happy to see this thread. It is definitely related to wifi.

For anyone that wants a quick workaround, I do recommend this app because it tells your NC to check wifi on regular intervals so I still get notifications / emails but wifi is not on all the time which saves battery.
[Nook Color Android Development] pmilford:
WPA_SUPLICANT task

Hi,

I have been getting SOD. My workaround has been to manually turn off

WiFi before I turn screen off - this seems to have worked.

I didn't have them under CM7.03. I have been getting them on all

the nightlies I have tried since them, currently using N146

Mentioned above is an app called GreenPower, I thought I would try this.

I still get SOD with it. (I think I just used the default settings)

This time after powering back on, I looked at my SystemPanel app traces.

It looked like the (task?) WPA_SUPPLICANT was using 100% CPU sometime after

I turn off the display.

Attached are 2 screen captures from System Panel:

One with last 2 hours, showing recent 100% WPA_Supplicant CPU usage SOD

One showing 8 hours of apps running with most CPU usage.

Note System panel is showing device charge constant, but after reboot,

charge is much lower (last night it discharged totally)

Also attached are two alogcat captures - not sure if they have useful data

or not though.

One from SOD earlier in the day

One from recent SOD captured in screen SystemPanel capture above.

Hope this helps...

Peter
[Nook Color Android Development] ottoman1384:
I tried Green Power and my nc hasn't had a SOD since you posted this. Thanks for the recommendation. I used to get SOD on a daily basis.
[Nook Color Android Development] koopakid08:
I used to get sod even with green power. So I set 2 profiles with tasker one for wifi off when screen is off and one for wifi on when screen is on. No sod for a week.
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
Two questions. Using Green Power, my wifi does not connect when I wake it up with the nook button. Secondly, when I try to wake up my bluetooth Xoom keyboard by pressing the connect button several times, it will sometimes reboot. Anybody having similiar problems?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindbuRn:
Yes, I know there's another thread with the same title, more than likely right below this one. I have different questions though and wanted to make sure my thread was seen. Sorry if that upsets you. Anyway...

I've been debating back and forth to get a tablet lately for a variety of reasons. I want something that can be used for school, something my son can enjoy, something for trips, etc, etc. I am no stranger to the Android OS in general, as I have an HTC Inspire 4G running RCMix3D KINGDOM v2.0. So my question isn't so much about the device, but more about my options once I purchase it.

At $250.00 through Amazon.com I would be stupid not to get this tablet over the Archos 101 in my opinion. It's twice the specs at only 20 or 30 more dollars. Anyway, on to my question... Once I get the tablet in hand, what ROM should I use that will be stable and fast, but also give me the most bang for my buck? Side question here is if it's also possible to get HTC Sense working on this device at all?

As well as that, what's this I hear about this device dual booting with Windows 7? I read that it could, then that it couldn't, then that it was another Viewsonic device that could and got confused with the G tab. What's the real deal here? Google has not been my friend on this particular question.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
the Gtablet will not run windows. There is another Viewsonic device that does have dual boot, but it's most definitely not this one.

As far as the other questions, I'll let somebody else address them, as I'm pretty much committed to never recommending any viewsonic device to anybody that I may have respect for. I'm in full on boycott mode, here.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindbuRn:
Care to go into that statement at all? I'd like to hear what happened, specifically if it pertains to the device in question that I'm about to buy.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindbuRn:
First off, shortened the quote because I don't feel people wanna read 8000 lines of the same text. But anyway, I loved your "review" of the product and the background. Basically what I got from it was that it's a great device, with plenty of options that go with it if you are willing, and that manufacturer support absolutely sucks on this device. Kind of sucks too becuase I do like it, but it also makes me not want to give my $250.00 to a company that couldn't give two ****s about the product they sell.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
I like your nutshell...

Alternatives aren't as bad as you might think. My stepfather bought an iconia a week ago from staples for $299...of course, he used a $100 off coupon they had. Be patient and another deal will be around shortly.
[HTC Sensation] cil111:
Hello everyone ....

noob here so bear with me if I what I am asking has been discussed already... ran a search but did not find anything directly related so here goes...

I just got an HTC sensation from the UK (live in Malta).. My carrier uses only the HSDPA 2100 frequency as it uses only 3g... now the sensation does not want to connect to this carrier.... new sim, reset, etc,... but to no avail.

It works fine on the other carriers (they use other frequences in addition the one mentioned before)

I keep getting a message ""Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network'"

any idea why this is happening...

The set is going to the carrier tomorrow so its techs can have a look at it... and maybe fiddle with the settings a bit...

I have done all the usual things in the phone (GSM etc set to auto etc etc) but it never connects.... not even as a normal phone without data...

any ideas what could be the cause? hardward fault? though it works in the other two operators we have here..

I was actually thinking of a reflash or a custom rom if all fails....

it has my carrier a bit confused in fact..

spoke to HTC Uk and they told me to speak to the carrier :)

Phone has Vodafone branding on startup... but is unlocked as I tried with vodafone malta and another operator.... and both work... but not on 3g... did not try that..

could it be that 3g is locked and 2g is not? But i understand that an unlocked set is unlocked in its entirety...

My desire works fine with this carrier....

thanks
[HTC Sensation] cil111:
just a quick update...

partly solved through the testing menu and fettling with Cipher and radio toggle... I do have network and data access...

however, something funny cropped up... as soon as i activate GPS through a programme it cuts off GPRS and when i switch off GPS it does not come back on...

it requires a restart for it to come back on... or sometimes by toggling on and off aeroplane mode..

any idea before i flash the whole thing... or flush it down the loo..... :)

also got the locking ring touchscreen problem today....

not happy with my sensation at all today....

thanks...

Hi guys.

I am wondering, if someone can help me.

I made a spreadsheet from excel.

A sort of calculator but with preset values.

It works great as it is, but of course not on my android ( Samsung GIO ).

Not even with curtain aps who works with excel.

Now i am thinking is it doable to create a stand alone ap wat does the same thing?

With the same collors, values and buttons.

I would be very greatfull if somebody could help me out or even build it.

I tried to make a download link, hope it works :)

[General Questions and Answers] Mizulunaris:
Yes I am asking you!

Your personal experience on how you learned coding!

Feel free to vent, my eyes are wide open

my reason? Why I have a book on coding (for Andriod) and the coding package (Eclipse, Andriod SDK, and SO ON)

but is this enough?

How did you start? What was your motivation?

is it fun!?

Please if anyone replies to it, i'd be very happy :D
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
Many moons ago, there was a magazine called BBC Micro User, and in it there were pages and pages of code for games written in BASIC.

Normally the code was wrong in places, which meant you had to debug and therefore learn how it worked rather than just copying it verbatum.

This is of course related to our phones as the BBC B was an ancestor to them (now there's a thought!)

[General Questions and Answers] Mizulunaris:
Thank you all for relpying :D!

think the book is already out dated XD

It was made when android 2.2 just came out....I figured any info toget me startd would be nice.....

I still haven't gotten into the gist of the forum though.....I still don't know many of the terms and aren't familiar to a lot of things talked about...or where things are placed.....and no formal training to help me.....

I guess I'll read on a bit until I can properly place my feet
[General Questions and Answers] AerialX:
I couldn't even tell you how I started, I was like 8 years old and just playing around for the hell of it. Been switching around and trying languages ever since. As for motivation, the only reason I ever write a program is because I need something done... I'll feel like I wish my PC/phone/website did something differently - so I make it do that :P

Really, the best thing to do is just dive right into it. If you want to start with Android, find a good tutorial that at least has you get an IDE and build environment set up... Then from there just start experimenting with some example code, or apps others have written as you go through more tutorials.

If you want to properly learn how to code though, most would suggest starting with something on a PC rather than diving right into Android dev. Starting with an easy-to-use scripting language or interpreter (like Python) is a good way to start playing around - and then you can move on to other languages such as Java with a solid understanding of how programming languages work.

It's all personal preference though, just find a solid tutorial and stick with it. Try to experiment as you go along, try things with the code, and actually understand what it's telling you.

But what is when i go back to hspl 2.08.0000?
